Which Headphones?

[Craig]

Right then, the Medusa 5.1's have went back to play (faulty, check my other thread) and i need some new headphones! Which would you lot reccomend? I play alot of games, and listen to music, and watch DVD's. They need to be the "Over the ear" type headphones and have good bass level (I have found that all headphones lack bass, except my current Sennheiser's)

Cheers,

Craig

Sennheiser 280s, my headphones of choice. Great for home or club use

do you need a Mic?

[Craig]

It would be usefull, i have a seperate mic but a headset type one would be good

[Zak33]

thats where it goes wrong

Sennheiser and Grado make the best. Koss make some nice ones too. But getting a CLOSED HEADPHONE with a Mic is a pain in the arse.
I have brought literally LOADS of different ones, and the ones that looked best were too small....the Senn PC130 is flat to your ear and not enclosed, the Medusa's I HAVE are perfect but lots of them are unreliable (as you know) the Altec Lansing ones made my head hurt.

So you see....its a pain in the arse.

Are theses a little overkill?

a bit

trouble with those are they dont have 3.5mm mini jacks (dont think so anyway)

they are for REAL PLANES!

[Craig]

Cheers for the replys guys, like i say a mic isnt a must, but those ones acidrainy posted are class Those are for the REAL hardcore Lo:Mac players <looks at Skii> I think i will give Sennheiser another shot, as i have had two pairs of theirs and both have been fantastic Anyone know where i can get a set of the HD280's?

Cheers

If you can, buy several and flog them to your mates. It pays the postage, and kets face it, once someone sees and hear's real headphones and you then offer them a brand new pair for £15 or £16 you'll soon be shot of them

Cheap and good.

[Zak33]

or if you are an Ebay man.....

I found these....

If you get those for about £40 all in you've got nice cans

Now those are from smae people as Medusa, so ytou might be put off, but Legin from these Forums is the man behind Audiovisual Online and I let him pimp a tiny tiny bit so long as he helps us out. If he's happy to sell these, they are worth looking at

Thanks Zak

Sennheiser are always good! We are supposed to be getting some Sennheiser headphones and headsets at some point soon but I'm not sure when.. If you need a mic then there are some good Sennheiser ones or plantronics are usually pretty good.

If you are willing to spend £55 then we have some really good ministry of sound dj1002 headphones which are £70 -80 everywhere else.
